The Nordic winter can feel like everything has stopped. Dark mornings, dark evenings, the world gone quiet.
But underground, something else is happening. Seeds don't wait for light, their roots grow in the dark, finding their way by feel, shaping themselves around what they meet.
Creativity works the same way.
Art as a Verb is a 6-week winter journey for anyone who senses there's a more creative way to live, whether or not you've ever called yourself an artist.
Blending Julia Cameron's Artist's Way with Rick Rubin's philosophy from The Creative Act, we'll work with the idea that creativity isn't a talent some people have. It's a way of paying attention. A way of doing life.
What you'll actually do:
- Daily: Morning pages: 3 pages of stream-of-consciousness writing every morning. No editing, no judgment. This is how you clear the fog and hear yourself think.
- Weekly: Artist dates: a solo 2-hour outing to somewhere that delights you. A museum, a walk by the water, a bookshop, a café. You're refilling the well.
- Together: Each Wednesday we gather at Lakefront for 2 hours of check-ins, discussion, and creative exercises. Then we walk down to the sauna by the lake and let it all integrate.
The 6-week arc:
Week 1: Safety & Identity — building the foundation
Week 2: Power & Integrity — reclaiming what you've given away
Week 3: Possibility & Abundance — working with limiting beliefs
Week 4: Connection & Strength — jealousy as a map, finding your own path
Week 5: Compassion & Protection — gentleness with creative blocks
Week 6: Autonomy & Faith — trusting the process, integrating the work

What's included:
- 1-1 coaching session before we begin (to set intentions)
- 6 weekly group sessions at Lakefront
- Sauna by the lake after each session
- 1-1 closing session (to integrate what emerged)
- WhatsApp group for daily check-ins and support
- A cohort of 12 fellow travelers
- A creative oasis in the middle of winter
- Community that lasts beyond the 6 weeks

This is for you if:
-> You used to feel creative and lost touch with it
-> You're successful by external measures but something feels flat
-> You want structure, accountability, and a group to do this with
-> You're ready to pay attention to your life differently
This is not:
An art class (I won't teach you to paint)
A quick fix
For people who want to watch, not participate

By the time the light returns, you'll have grown new roots.
